To Readers of Appletons' Popular Science Monthly : 



We make the following proposition to become members of 

 the Review of Reviews History Club and obtain the three 

 volumes of" 



Our War in Two Hemispheres, 



by Albert Shaw, editor of the "American Monthly Review 

 of Reviews," and author of " Municipal Government in Great 

 Britain," etc. 



Every American citizen possessing a library, and many that 

 do not possess one, will be interested in the announcement or 

 the history of the late war with Spain, now published by the 

 Review of Reviews Co. Much of fhe narrative was written 

 by Dr. Albert Shaw during the actual fighting of the summer. 

 This has been revised and amplified by him in the light of the 

 official reports and documents which have only become available 

 after hostilities ceased. A free quotation from the critical con- 

 gressional debates, and other public utterances at crucial periods, 

 aid in making this work what it is, the standard reference history 

 of this decisive and successful struggle. But it is much more 

 than a lively and comprehensive narrative. It goes back to the 

 years of struggle in Cuba which prepared the way for the war; 

 it discusses energetically the problems which confronted the 

 United States after the war as to the Philippines, Cuba, and 

 Porto Rico; and as a whole it forms a broadly conceived pic- 

 ture of the year which has seen America brought face to face 

 with new world duties. 



The important special and technical matters of the war 

 period, generally dismissed by the historian with only slight and 

 often insufficient discussion, are fully and authentically dealt 

 with in contributed chapters, written by men who had unusual 

 opportunities for studving their subjects. Thus, the lessons 

 which the war has for us as to the relative efficiency of rifles and 

 machine guns are in a carefully written chapter by Lieutenant 

 John H. Parker, of the United States Army. The military 

 movements of the Santiago and Porto Rican campaigns are 

 analyzed by the editor of the Army and Navy Journal; the 

 battle with Cervera is described by the novelist, Winston 



WAINWRIGHT.
